Boston Terrier Dog Training Tips

Boston Terrier Training

Information on Training Your Boston Terrier Dog or Puppy

The Boston Terrier is a sensitive dog, who seems greatly concerned with pleasing his owners. He is a quick study and will learn commands with relative ease. The Boston Terrier is calm and gentle indoors, but a raucous playmate outside whenever the opportunity arises. There can be moments of stubbornness, but the Boston Terrier will ultimately yield to his owner.

The Boston Terrier has naturally friendly disposition and seldom takes an unprovoked dislike to people. He is equally pleasant with children and other dogs. Some household pets should tread with caution around the Boston Terrier, especially if they are of the feline persuasion. But, if your Boston Terrier has been brought up with kitty, he will see her as a companion rather than a foe.

House training your Boston Terrier works best when you commit to using the Bridge Word method and start the training when your puppy is about 6 weeks old. To use this method, select a simple world like �yes� or �good� and instruct all family members that this word, and this alone, indicates correct response. Reserve an especially delicious treat, like liver bits, to reward proper behaviour. Don�t let your Boston�s cute antics swindle you out of a liver snack, this is to be awarded only if your Boston Terrier uses appropriate bathroom facilities.

Next, take your Boston Terrier outside immediately following a nap or meal. As soon as he goes, say your bridge word and reward with the liver treat. Soon, this will establish a regular routine and you can begin to expand the training. Still, use your special treat only when a command is obeyed.
